An attractive map of North East Africa. As with many maps of the time, the map is charmingly inaccurate - The unexplored interior is divided into various kingdoms, the river Niger flows into the Nile, and numerous short texts in French make up for the lack of hard knowledge. Title cartouche at top right.
Fine condition, good margins.
